how to set defaultarch in mirror.list for both i386 and amd64

[Kunzol]

You need to configure the "deb-lines" accordingly:

deb-amd64 http://....
deb-i386 http://....

@Kunzol I use the following lines to solve it.

dev@bbt:~$ cat /etc/apt/mirror.list|grep -v ^# |grep -v ^$
set base_path   /home/dev/mirrors/apt-mirror 
set nthreads     20
set _tilde 0
deb [arch=i386] http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/ocata main
deb [arch=amd64] http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/ocata main
deb-src http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/ocata main
clean http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu

But I still wander if there are any choices to solve it via set defaultarch :)
thx all the same.

is deb [arch=i386] equivalent to deb-i386?

is deb [arch=i386] equivalent to deb-i386?

just use this

sed -Ei 's@^deb (.*)@deb-i386  \1\ndeb-amd64 \1@' /etc/apt/mirror.list

[attiqmscs004]

is deb [arch=i386] equivalent to deb-i386?

No. you have to specify the 32 and 64 version by
deb-amd64 http://x.x.x.x/ubuntu xenial main
deb-i386 http://x.x.x.x/ubuntu xenial main
